Between last Tuesday and yesterday (Thursday), it took place the matches of the second leg for the second round qualifycation of the Champions League and Europe League.
Last weed, after the matches of the first leg, I wrote an article where I was really optimistic about the qualifycation of most of the finnish teams for the next round. I considered that most of the teams had got great results in the first leg.. so I was optimistic.
In Champions League, HJK had already got the qualifycation after its 7-0 score in the first leg.
But my big dissapointment appears yesterday, after that 3 of 4 teams did not pass the round. Just Kups got the qualifycation, but with some problems, because they lost 0-1, so they got the third round with the difference of the goals in the aggregate (1-2 in the first leg).
In general, we have to consider that the participation of the finnish teams has been very poor, with 3 teams out of 5.. It was hard the defeat of Inter Turku (0-5) against FC Twente from Holland. Of course FC Twent was the favourite in this round, but after the first match 1-1 in Holland, I was expecting more from the team of Turku..
In the next round, HJK will face Celtic and Kups will play against Bursaspor.
Resultados / Fixtures:
KR 1- HJK 2 ( 1-9)
KUPS 0-Maccabi 1 (2-2)
INTER 0-Twente 5 (1-6)
MYPA 0-Rapid Bucarest 2 (1-5)
Zeta 1-JJK 0 (3-3)
